Sympathy

I know I come to you only when in need I'm not the best believer Not the most deserving But all I have all I am all I can For him I'd beg you on bended knees for him Precious baby, is your life hanging by a thread? All I have all I am all I can For him I'd beg you on bended knees for him I've got this curse in my hands All I touch fades to black Turns to dust turns to sand I've got this curse on my tongue All I taste is the rust This decay in my blood I don't like the doctor with the deep long face Only wants to give us the very worse case I'd rather shout out and shake him and do anything For him I'd beg you on bended knees for him When the moment strikes It takes you by surprise and Leaves you naked in the face of death and life There is no righteousness in your darkest moment We're all equal in the face of what we're most afraid of And I'm so sorry For those who didn't make it And for the mommies who are left with their heart breaking Search for the meaning in sores The sentences they might form It's the grammar of skin Peel it back, let me in Look for hope in the dark The shadow cast by you heart It's the grammar of faith No more rules, no restraint How anger I would be If you'd taken him away I wish I was wiser but instead I'll be grateful I'll say thanks For the joy for the love for the smile on his face I'd beg you on bended knees for him --- Sympathy - Sleater-Kinney
